For 33 years, students in Suzanne Lisenby's classes have created Thanksgiving cookbooks at holiday time.

Since 2002, Kathy Kemp has shared some of the best recipes each year in her Sunday column, and we wanted to continue the tradition.

Lisenby's first-grade class at Liberty Park Elementary in Vestavia Hills is dedicating this year's cookbook in memory of our colleague, who died this month after a battle with cancer.

So here, with drawings by students, too, are Thanksgiving recipes for the whole meal -- from appetizers to turkey to desserts. Keep a caterer on speed-dial, though. Some of them are kind of tricky.
